6. Although facilitated diffusion is clearly happening, the indicated ion concentrations are not changing. That is because this image is actually missing a very important protein called the
sodium-potassium pump. Think about what you know about the concentration gradients.
(Remember: ions typically flow from areas of high concentration to areas of low
concentration, but it can go in the other direction, as well.)
a. What must this pump be doing to maintain the concentration gradient?
I.
b. What kind of transport is it doing - active or passive?
C. Which direction must each ion be moving through the pump?

Mr rogers is 2 days postoperative of a thoracotomy of removal of a malignant mass in his left chest. his pain is being managed via epidural catheter with morphine. as the nurse assumes care of mr rogers, he is alert and fully oriented and states that his current pain is 2 on a 1 -to-10 scale. his vital signs are 37.8-92-12, 138/82. what are benefits of epidural versus systemic administration of opioids? the nurse monitors mr roger’s respiratory status and vital signs every 2 hours. what is the rationale for this frequent assessments? the nurse monitors mr rogers for what other complications of epidural anelgesis?
